More helpful hints on how to deal with Swine Flu

Like many of you, I am worried about the Swine Flu pandemic that is raging across the globe and so I, too am looking for ways in which to keep myself and loved ones safe should the worst happen.

So I would like to share some words of advice given by Bishop Anthimos, one of the Greek Orthodox church's most senior figures when asked about whether the church would change Holy Communion procedures given the flu epidemic. According to the bishop there is no need to worry as the Communion serving spoons are made of silver which kills microbes.

Well there is only one way to prove Anthimos theory and put the mind of people at rest. Put a titrate of live virus particles on a silver spoon, dip it in the communion and let him have a sip. Wait for 48-72 hours and observe.To make the test statistically significant repeat at least three times.

If this works I will have to inform my coleauges and change our working practices!!!!
